Gleam and scream! — Summary

Lost in the middle, I searched for a sign. I looked up at the sky, The clouds were there, as if mine.

I continued glaring at them, It made me feel a little better. They moved without a clem, So gracefully, my grieves began to shatter.

But then I felt a chill inside me, Oh! Are they telling something to me? "No, you're imagining" "No, it's not imagination" I began to search deeper, But it was hard. Then I thought of feeling without my eyes And yes, they were looking wise.

It formed a pattern, A smile maybe. I replied with another one. I kissed them goodbye, Seeing them go.

One day again, I felt low enough. I wanted to shout But I heard someone else.

I looked up, It was the clouds. Grey and dull with anger Steaming up with those, It thundered. I smiled and screamed with it. But then, it started crying. I was then astounded, That for so many years, I read those water cycles, which were wrong.

Now that I understand them, It was their moods. Their kind of storytelling, And expressing their views.

Sometimes they beam, And tell us to do the same. But sometimes they grieve, With reasons only they would know. Still they teach us that Smile when you need to And scream when you want to 'Cause it's okay, It's our 'nature'.

Feeling lost and looking for a sign, the speaker turns to the sky and finds comfort in the clouds. At first they seem like quiet company, and watching them eases her grief. She wonders whether they are sending her a message, argues with herself about it, then trusts a feeling that doesn't depend on sight. She sees a smile in the clouds and smiles back.

Later, when she feels low again and wants to shout, the clouds do it for her. They turn dark and thunder, and she screams along with them. When rain follows, she realizes she has misread the sky, and that rain is not just a water cycle but a mood. The ending turns this into a gentle lesson: clouds beam, clouds grieve, and we are allowed to do the same. The mood is tender, reassuring and a little playful, and the closing lines say that smiling and screaming are both natural.

You see me everywhere, Sometimes near the garbage, Sometimes near you favourite restaurant. "Yuck! Bloody animals!"
